Jacob/Lee:
Archery training seems to be mostly broken, so for now you need to train by arming the marksdwarves then making them take potshots at living targets, preferably something that can't attack them or shoot back. Live training also gives much more XP than shooting at targets.

Once you have a tower, station archers on the top and watch those goblins flee.

Make sure you don't station them up there when elite bowgoblins are around. They have unbelievable accuracy and will probably tag your dwarves straight through any fortifications.

On the other hand, it did lose 4 necks and bleed to death after I left control mode and unpaused the game.

My adventurer kills hydras and dragons without even being hit.

The only problem with hydras is that you need a slashing weapon to kill them easily. If you use a spear or hammer or similar weapons it is difficult to tell which heads you have slain because they are still attached.

Corbiere:

Get a caged creature (wild animal or hostile), give dwarves bows and wooden arrows and wooden swords, dig out an arena shaped cave, put cage in centre (preferably hostile elitist swordgoblin), get dwarves inside and lock the doors, release the cage.

It's fun to watch. Just...make sure you have medical backup else you lose a lot of dwarves.
Good training.

Böltster:
What's a really good quick way to kill a bunch of my dwarfs? and do i need to bury every single one of them? I set my population cap to 100 just then but I already had 157, so I have to cull them.
